A world on water where time stands still – Kampong Ayer welcomes you to drift through its historic channels, walk its wooden lanes, and feel the heartbeat of a community that has flourished for over a thousand years.
Kampong Ayer is one of the largest water settlements in Southeast Asia, this expanse of settlements on stilts is a must-visit for any traveler wishing to complete their tour of Brunei. The Brunei River is home to a lively community. Start off with a scenic boat ride of the Brunei River before taking a walk along wooden paths and bridges rich with culture and history. Complete your experience by paying a visit to the Cultural and Tourism Gallery and learn why Kampong Ayer is known as the “Venice of The East”.
For those without access to a private car, we recommend using Dart (think of it as Brunei’s Uber or Grab) which is the most convenient option for traveling in Brunei. While it provides hassle-free booking and convenience, keep in mind that pricing may vary.
